According to the insider information, the PlayStation 6 could be equipped with 30GB GDDR7 memory. This will be a huge leap from PlayStation 5.

This handheld is said to feature up to 24GB of LPDDR5X memory, which could be said to be comparable to the current powerful handheld, the Asus Xbox Ally X.
